Note that this behaviour is also the correct way to handle actual spam
from spammers ... they have never sent anything that people wanted, yet
their mail is not so awful to be rejected out of hand so it goes into
the spam folder (albeit DEFER will reduce resource usage).

Someone well respected round here advises "send email people have asked
for" ... those people find that in the spam folder, and thereafter (at
Yahoo anyway) further email from that sending address will go in the
inbox no matter what the machine learning system thinks overall.
